Innovation themes
Innovation themes of technology and solutions

Materials engineering
Materials engineering is focused on tackling major global challenges (such as corrosion) via new innovative technologies and next generation materials, researching opportunities in advanced functional coatings and composites, and addressing and developing solutions to key materials challenges.

Advanced manufacturing and design
Advanced manufacturing and design is focused on additive manufacturing, exploring major cost savings and disruptive opportunities by fostering new ideas and evaluating early-stage commercial prospects, providing incubation space, and linking with Monash’s hi-tech facility SensiLab as well as other research partners.

Data science
Monash has the strongest university based group of data scientists in the Asia-Pacific region. This includes expertise and research in optimisation, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and data visualisation, a talent pipeline – access to elite Monash data science graduates, and access to digital plant – sensors, monitoring, compliance and control systems.
